160 x 5 x 3, x 3 x 3, 20 kg swings 5 x8/8, 32 lb wt pushups

 This went great. Lowering the weight to 160 was a good move. Then  after 3 sets of 5 and one set of 4 I realized/remembered why I stopped doing fives TOO HARD TO BREATHE  after three. Then I lose the groove and it's about muscle not technique and my left shoulder doesn't like that

I can hold my breath for 3 reps but not 4 so I'm changing it to 8 sets of 3, at basically 75% of max. So very Westside

I'll go up to  165 for that next week.

The key to the setup is to simulate the back arch I get on the negative rep. Set up with the hips in front like that and knees locked and then  arm drive. worked great
